Shawn: Marines stand for a lot of things, including for people’s right to be free to choose. Football players work hard to get into the NFL. If a player wants to risk it all for equal justice, I think that’s exactly the freedom I defended, regardless of how I feel about the anthem.

Angry Fan: They’re just trying to get attention. I don’t want to hear about black tension with police when I go to a football game. I’m not racist, I mean you’re from the middle east or whatever and I don’t hate you but I don’t want to hear about your politics during a football game.

Jesus: Especially on a Sunday because that’s a scared day, am I right?

Angry Fan: Yeah, exactly.

Jesus: You hold a piece of cloth and a song over the suffering of your brothers and sisters?

Angry Fan: It’s the symbolism, it’s sacred.

Jesus: Are the lives of your fellow citizens not sacred?

Angry Fan: No offense man but you sound like an idiot. We had a black president for two terms! Black people have as many rights as anyone else in this country. In fact, black people kill more black people than police.

Shawn: Dude, do you know who he is?

Angry Fan: I don’t care who he is, I treat everyone the same.

Aspasia: Unfortunately, the police don’t treat everyone the same way. Police action in black communities is drastically inconsistent. When a black person is pulled over, or stopped, by the police there is a roulette wheel of treatment ranging from professional policing to outright murder. Police encounters should not be terrorizing events. I don’t deserve that, and black families will not tolerate it anymore. A family can move out of a bad neighborhood, you can’t move away from the police.

Angry Fan: You’re not going to convince me. I just want to watch my game.
